Unless you meant something more informative.

Right now my favorite is The National Parks - America's Best Idea

Also have loved:

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse
Waco: The Rules of Engagement
When We Were Kings
Hoop Dreams
Roger & Me
Civil War
Man On Wire
American Movie

It's too hard to have an all-time favorite.

If you haven't seen Best Worst Movie, you really should.

You should watch Troll 2 just for its own merits, but the great thing about the documentary is that it's not really necessary to enjoy the macro idea of how "cult films" or more specifically "so bad they're good" films come to prominence.

I dunno.

I really how they got the footage they needed, but what separates a dolphin from a tuna or cow, and what is humane and what isn't across cultures?

Dolphins can recognize themselves in a mirror! That makes them more worth saving, apparently.

Recently watched it, and the first three episodes are awesome. Slows a bit after that.

Ok. So they are self-conscious.

What about tests for other animals besides the mirror test?

I think queen ants are self-conscious. And the social ordering among hymenopterans is more intricate than a dolphin noticing it has a spot on it.

A dolphin is so conscious that it committed suicide!

I'm not trying to rag on dolphins. I love the things. I know their story, their complete history and pre-history. I even saw a handful this last weekend. The thing is in The Cove you have people saying that the dolphins could easily communicate their feelings and the humans could interpret them and knew exactly what they were feeling from afar.
